Et c'est le résultat du gaspillage que vous avez fait à la Coalition de Québec, Madame Fréchette.
speaker_4SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Le gaspillage à la CAQ, on dirait que vous magasinez chez Costco, Northvolt, Nemaska, Sipa, Sakli, Rouge et Bleu, Union, les meetings de Los Angeles.
Cathy SenayCORRESPONDENT
Muller also confronted Parti Québécois leader Paul St-Pierre Plamondon on a potential third referendum.

C'est que comment on peut
SteveAUDIENCE
Otherwise, it's just, you know, a terrible choice.
SteveAUDIENCE
Well, there's no way I'd ever vote for the PQ, but I don't like CAC and what they've done, you know, with Northvolt and wasting our money on SACLIC.
Elias MakosHOST
And listen, you know, the other leaders went after Christine Frechette over gaspillage, over waste, over and over last night.
Elias MakosHOST
And to me, one of the lines that resonated the most, I mentioned it during the Big Five, Paul St. Pierre Plamondon asking voters, do you want four more years of the CAC? And, you know, that's when it hits you.
Tom MulcairGUEST
But again, and I was talking about the stuff that the Libs were likely to throw at her tonight.
Tom MulcairGUEST
You can be sure that Québec solidaire and the Parti Québécois and the Conservatives are gonna be throwing back at her, "Yeah, but what about Northvolt? And what about, you know, a billion dollars thrown in the dumpster on boneheaded, ill-conceived, uh, projects to, to redo the computer systems and the data systems in places like, uh, the Société de l'assurance automobile du Québec and so forth." So absolutely gonna be a moment of accounting 'cause she's been managing...
Tom MulcairGUEST
I would say, you know, as a, a former politician, I have to admire the art and the skill of stepping away from this stuff, but at some point you might have stepped away from the pile, but it's still gonna be smelling quite a bit, and people are gonna be, you know, wanting other, others to notice it, and say, "Just be careful," because she's still got a bunch of the dunderheads, uh, who, who, who ran the Legault government running with her.
Andrew CarterHOST
Yeah, but it, it's funny, the, the, the vote, uh, is so fragmented.
Tom MulcairGUEST
But again, and I was talking about the stuff that the Libs were likely to throw at her tonight.
Tom MulcairGUEST
You can be sure that Québec solidaire and the Parti Québécois and the Conservatives are gonna be throwing back at her, "Yeah, but what about Northvolt? And what about, you know, a billion dollars thrown in the dumpster on boneheaded, ill-conceived, uh, projects to, to redo the computer systems and the data systems i- in places like, uh, the Société de l'assurance automobile du Québec and so forth?" So absolutely gonna be a moment of accounting 'cause she's been managing...

Tom MulcairGUEST
But at some point, you might have stepped away from the pile, but it's still gonna be smelling quite a bit, and people are gonna be, you, you know, wanting oth- others to notice it and say, "Just be careful," because she's still got a bunch of the dunderheads, uh, who, who, who ran the Legault government running with her.
Aaron RandHOST
Yes, this is the latest scandal, this Sante Quebec thing.
Aaron RandHOST
There's certainly enough that are already in the, you know, sort of the hopper here between, you know, and people bring them up, between Northvolt and Lyon and the SAAQ.
Aaron RandHOST
How do you, if you're Christine Frechette, I mean, how do you fend that off? Because you know those attacks are legitimate.
Aaron RandHOST
People are aware of those.
Patrick BoyleHOST
It's fear of missing out at the scale of the national economy, and we've seen how this kind of thing ends already.
Patrick BoyleHOST
The last big wave of this type of investment back in 2021 poured money into electric vehicle and battery startups like Rivian and Northvolt, a lot of which, in the FT's words, turned sour.
Patrick BoyleHOST
Investors didn't learn the lesson from that.
Patrick BoyleHOST
They just waited a few years and went looking for a wilder version of the exact same bet.
Max RichardHOST
Ils veulent qu'on se le désorganise.
Max RichardHOST
Fait que non seulement on va le sous-financer, on va prendre l'argent de nos impôts pour faire des venture capitalists de nous-mêmes, des gestionnaires de projets, des, des-- puis on f-, on perd notre argent dans des projets comme Saclic, Northvolt, Lion, ainsi de suite.
Max RichardHOST
Puis on va couper 500 millions en éducation, couper 500 millions en santé.
Max RichardHOST
On se demande pourquoi ça va, ça marche pas, puis on paye des impôts, puis ça nous fâche.
Maxim FortinGUEST
Ils n'y croient pas.
Maxim FortinGUEST
Ils n'y croient pas et leur stratégie, ben c'est pas de le réformer complètement en une nuit, ben c'est de le démanteler à la pièce, euh, année, euh, mandat par mandat, année sur année et, euh, d'amener des modèles...
Maxim FortinGUEST
Tu sais, ce qu'on a vu avec la CAQ dans les, dans, dans, dans les dernières années, l'espèce de, de modèle dévelo-, d-d-d'État de développementaliste qui, qui, qui, bon, qui fait affaire avec Northvolt, puis tout ça.
Maxim FortinGUEST
Donc on est dans un État qui continue de vouloir intervenir, mais d'une manière qui est complètement différente de l'État social et qui n'assume pas qu'il a bifurqué.
Justin TrudeauGUEST
But then the question becomes, what do we do with that best fiscal position in the world right now? Do we say, okay, we're gonna pay down some of our debt and make it even better than already the best? or we're going to take that money and we're going to invest it in things that are going to help Canadians in this difficult time.
Justin TrudeauGUEST
Things like child care, things like dental care for seniors, things like drawing in Volkswagen and Stellantis and Honda and Northvolt and Iwan Moli and Dow and building those jobs for future generations.
Justin TrudeauGUEST
This is the decision that we've taken.
Justin TrudeauGUEST
We said, okay, we have a great government position in terms of the economy, Let's put it to work to invest in Canadians to support them right now and build for a stronger future.
Tom MulcairGUEST
He got to give his speech.
Tom MulcairGUEST
She didn't react badly when Pierre Fitzgibbon tried to set things a little bit straight because there was one PQ candidate who had been in favor of Northvolt, who had given all the reasons why Northvolt was a good idea, and then tried on the weekend to say, well, no, in a secret meeting in a back room, I told them I had hesitation.
Tom MulcairGUEST
What year was that? I can't remember.
Tom MulcairGUEST
So the PQ has no credibility on this.
Craig StevensHOST
But sometimes companies exit for other reasons.
Craig StevensHOST
Either companies go bankrupt, like Northvolt.
Craig StevensHOST
That's one that was very exciting and ended up sort of folding.
Craig StevensHOST
Sometimes you get a SPAC.
